I was waiting for you...
I remember two names Cseh Annamária (face of Thierry Mugler Angel pefume Ad) and Görög Zita. Do you think they are?

Reka Eberengyi is Hungarian, and she's in Voctoria's Secret...although i think Diana M takes the ball here...

 

[fashpass]

but shes a french citizen isnt she?
its funny that france has no real "famous" models so to speak because they are recognised as a very stylish country and a fashion capital and they have quite a large population, bizarro.

Scottland=Kirsty Hume (and isnt Stella Tennant born in Scottland?) [/b]

France does actually have a model, she cam eout with Maggie Rizer i forget her name

where does Helena Christensen come from/
another famous indian is Yasmeen Ghauri seh was among the supermodels. or isnt she from India?

South Africa's top export is Tanya Fowrie and not Georgina Grenville allegedly

here she is for loreal

Yasmeen Ghauri is half canadian and half Pakistani

I would think The most famous Romanian now is Diana Dondoe

[KaE-YU]

Norway- Carmen Maria Hillestad??
Latvia-Inguna or Marta?

 

[oolie coco]

Why are French models rare? That's so weird and interesting, because Paris is a fashion capital if not the number 1 in the world.

Vanessa Paradis is one.

I think Canadian Shalom Harlow is much more famous than stupid Daria Werbowy

Helena Christensen is the most famous Danish model. She's Danish, right?

 

[QuirkyCool]

Well she achieved world fame as an actress,but let's not forget that South Africa's Charlize Theron started out by winning some teen model of the year competition in SA,which led to her going overseas for the first time.

And I thought Paulina Porizkova was Czech and not Swedish?

 

[yojuicy]

def. inguna for latvia.

 

[ohlala]
